Which function cannot be classified as
either increasing or decreasing?
(A) Weight of a lead brick as a function of volume
(B) Strength of a radio signal as a function of distance from
the transmitter
(C) Time of travel from Buffalo to Syracuse as a function of
driving speed
(D) Area of a square as a function of side length
(E) Height of a swinging pendulum as a function of time.

The function is said to be increasing if the value of f(x) increases with an increase in the value of x and the function is said to be decreasing if the value of f(x) decreases with an increase in the value of x.

Now according to the option given we will conclude that,

Option A) is an increasing function. That is if we increase the volume of the bricks gradually the weight of the brick will increase.

Option B) is a decreasing function because signal becomes if we increase the distance.

Option C) is a decreasing function because if we increase the driving speed, time travel will decrease.

Option D) is an increasing function as area grows as side length grows.

Option E) is neither an increasing function nor a decreasing function as the height of the pendulum is not fixed. It will increase and decrease alternatively.

Hence Option E) cannot be classified as either increasing or decreasing function.
